My Fire

I heard this song today and I would say its a pretty good description of what I desire.  The song is sung by a male and so I assume myself to be the subject of the song who is being sung to.  Since I was old enough to recognize what even some of my dreams were, I realized that I wanted most someone who would accompany me and be by my side as I set out on the road to reach my dreams.  My dad tells me it is my duty to follow the patriarch of my home wherever he needs to go and that it is not my place to ask any man to follow me on the pursuit of my dreams.  I so far have not conceded to his opinion and believe that two people can share a desire to accomplish one another's dreams together.  In fact, I believe this in part is what makes a happy marriage.  For this reason I love this song.  I want to fly and for someone to fly with me...

"When You Come Back Down"

You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always hold the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
